Corgi Love (with Heffy Doodle)

By on March 17, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I’m excited to be guest posting over on the Heffy Doodle blog. I’m featuring the new “Oh Crumbs” stamp set with the cutest Corgis ever! Head on over to the Heffy Doodle Blog to see how I made these four cards:

I also have a bonus VIDEO for you today, showing you how to Mirror Image any stamp in your collection.

See those Corgi cards on the left? I used the mirror image technique to get one Corgi to face the other! Such a fun technique and great when you want to have additional options.

Watch the video below or on YouTube:

I hope you give this technique a try yourself. I remember when I first learned how to mirror image a stamp from my friend Suzy…I was mesmerized and did not think I would be able to remember how to do it. But once you try it, it’s easy!

Thanks for stopping by today! Be sure to head over to the Heffy Doodle blog to see all four cards and details on how to make them.

How to make a Wood Plank Background

By on March 5, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello friends! Today I have some fun cards to share AND a video on how to make a wood plank background.

Affiliate Links are used when possible. When you click on these links and make a purchase I receive a small commission, which helps me to continue to bring you projects and blog posts! Thanks for your support.

These are some cute images from Jessica Lynn Originals. I just couldn’t resist coloring up those mermaid owls. Here’s my first card:

I colored up that cutie mermaid as a blonde bombshell, complete with glittery pink bikini top.

The background is called Everyday Tintables Card Pack from Concord & 9th, these are so great because they have a white design pre-printed that allows for this emboss resist look. I inked up with Distress Inks in three different colors: Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, and Fossilized Amber.

Close up of Mermaid Owl

I used some Jewel Nuvo Drops to finish off this card. They are so beautiful because they are semi-transparent with just a little tint of color. These are the three colors I used: Limoncello, Key Lime, Sea Breeze.

My second card shows of that mermaid owl with some hot pink hair:

Look at her cute little octopus friend! I used Copics to color them up and added some white gel pen dots for accents. The ocean waves are a die from this set. I just love the added stitching to the edge.

My last card features Brentwood Owl, which is actually the logo of Jessica Lynn Originals. Did you know she’s celebrating 14 years in business in April?! So this little owl is extra meaningful:

Shiver me Timbers! I hear it be ye birthday!

Take a look at his sidekick parrot! I used some extra lines to serve as his feathers and I think he turned out pretty cute! Here’s a close up:

That wooden plank background is made using one of my favorite techniques! I have a video to show you just how to create that wooden plank look, as well as how I put this card together.

[Note: listen for the “guest pirate” in this video! LOL. I had a great time having a guest join in on this voiceover!]

Watch it below or on YouTube:

I love that Porthole die from Lawn Fawn. To finish it off, I used Nuvo drops in Liquid Mercury…I think it adds just the right amount of detail.

I hope you enjoyed these projects today. Check out more of Jessica’s designs at her blog here.

Ahoy!

I’m loving how the wooden plank background turned out!
Until next time…Thanks for stopping by!
